Second of a three launches contract for Amazon's Kuiper low Earth orbit satellite internet constellation, with 24 satellites on board. Amazon Leo, formerly known as Project Kuiper, is a mega constellation of satellites in Low Earth Orbit that will offer broadband internet access, this constellation will be managed by Kuiper Systems LLC, a subsidiary of Amazon. This constellation is planned to be composed of 3,276 satellites. The satellites are projected to be placed in 98 orbital planes in three orbital layers, one at 590 km, 610 km and 630 km altitude.
KUIPER-00098 was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Falcon 9 Block 5 | Amazon Leo (KF-02)’, on board a Falcon 9 space rocket.
The launch took place on Aug. 11, 2025, 12:35 p.m. from Space Launch Complex 40.
